Oliva Cigar Co.

Oliva Cigar Company is Nicaragua's second largest grower of tobacco and one of the largest cigarmakers in the world. It all started in 1886 when Melanio Oliva first grew tobacco in Cuba. In 1995, his grandson Gilberto Oliva would launch the Oliva cigar brand, produced in Esteli, Nicaragua. The company's flagship brand, Oliva Serie V, has obtained some of the highest ratings in cigar publications worldwide. Their cigars use mostly tobacco harvested by the company in their various farms in Nicaragua.

Cigar Wrapper

Sungrown

The wrapper is the last tobacco leaf to be rolled on the cigar, so it is the one the smoker will see.Sungrown cigar wrappers come from tobacco plants that are grown directly under the sun without the use of man made tents to give shade as in Shade grown wrappers. As opposed to the Shade grown plants, sun grown tobacco plants grown thicker leaves with thicker veins and darker color. Sungrown wrappers can be appreciated for their rich taste and sweet undertones.

Cigar Binder

Nicaragua

The binder is a full tobacco leaf that is used to roll the cigar, binding the filler tobaccos together.

Cigar Filler

Nicaragua

Filler is the term used to describe the tobacco inside a cigar or the "guts" of the cigar.

Beautiful cigar. Draws really well. A bit on the spicy side on initial light for me. The rest of the smoke was a bit hum drum. Nothing I haven't experienced before from other main stream cigars. However, somewhat smooth in taste which I appreciated.
